These following words came as I sat at my adoration time...
"Church!"
"Do not run away!
You are the living Body of Christ
Stay your ground
Fight against the evil brought to Light!
Stay your ground
Fight against the evil brought to Light!
You are the hands, the feet, the heart and the mind of Christ.
Jesus is the Head of the Body-
Do not abandon Him."
OUR TIME OF VISITATION
by Peter Herbeck
(published in the RENEWAL MINISTRIES, Oct. newsletter)
One morning during Mass, right after Communion,
I sensed the Lord telling me to write down in my journal
the following:
"The days ahead will be marked by growing chaos and confusion.
I am coming to purify my Church. I am about to bring down the idols
that hold my people in bondage;
I will expose the hypocrisy of the mighty and the strong,
both in the Church and in the world."
Peter continues...
"It is important for us to understand Jesus' intent. He
doesn't come to humiliate or to destroy; He comes to save.
St. Peter tells us that judgement begins with the house of
God. Jesus is purifying His Church for the sake of the
salvation of the world. The Church is the hope of the world,
the sacrament of salvation, the light of the world.
When the Church is trapped in sin, her light goes dim and her salt goes flat.
We have nothing to fear if we put our hope in Him.
It's not our job to secure all the potential consequences
that may transpire from a radical response to Jesus at this time.
Our job is to obey and to entrust everything to His
mercy and love, and to the protection and intercession of Our Lady.
Jesus said,"I am the light of the world, he who follows me
will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life" (John 8:12)
Even in the greatest darkness, we can walk in the Light.
